**Feature Request:** As a regular user, I frequently need to search within documents while editing content. The standard keyboard shortcut CMD+F (or CTRL+F for Windows) is a fundamental text editing feature that’s currently missing. I guess this issue is bigger for folks who use the Desktop app. **Current Situation:** - No way to quickly search for specific text within a document - Users have to manually scroll and scan for content - Makes editing and reviewing longer documents inefficient (now I have to copy the content, paste on another text editing tool, do the search, replace, adjusts and then paste back on Fibery) **Request Details:** 1. Implement standard text search functionality 2. Use universal keyboard shortcuts (CMD+F for Mac, CTRL+F for Windows) 3. Include basic search features like case sensitivity and “find next” Impact: This would significantly improve the editing experience, especially for longer documents, and align with users’ expectations from other text editing tools. Note: While Search and Replace would be a valuable addition, I’m focusing this request specifically on the search functionality to keep the scope focused and implementation straightforward. Note 2: I found only a feature request simular to this on Whiteboards ([Ctrl/Cmd-f to find text content in Whiteboard](https://community.fibery.io/t/ctrl-cmd-f-to-find-text-content-in-whiteboard/6339)) Screenshot of Notion’s implementation: ![CleanShot 2024-12-11 at 12.04.31@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/8/8bb1f48638397a96da35e034369b5e54fdff3273.jpeg) ---

This is specifically and **only** in the Desktop Apps, right? Because otherwise it’s handled by web browser text search, which is varying degrees of good (e.g. some offer Match Case, Whole Word, or other options, while some are super simple and just have a text entry and next/previous match buttons). I agree with the request, I just want the title to be as accurate as possible. So if this _just_ applies to the native apps the title should reflect that IMO. ---

While I already noted this in the description section, I agree we should make the title more specific to the feature being requested. I just updated the feature request title to be more specific. Thank you @Oshyan ---

The desktop app is pretty solid but what it misses from the browser is a simple Ctrl + F search which is crucial when looking at a list and trying to easily find an item. ---

Bumping this one, agree, i love using the desktop app but the lack of a Ctrl-F function is a bit annoying ---

I agree with this. In my opinion, ctrl+f (or some in-document/in-text field search) is the biggest thing missing in the desktop app. ---

I strongly support this request (I also requested it several times). A further improvement could be to complete the FIND function (ctrl+F) with a FIND AND REPLACE function (ctrl+H in many cases). ---
